@Catija I've said this elsewhere, but... I'm worse than useless on Twitter. I see like 1% of everything in my feed, 'cause Twitter just ditches it all and shows me the most-liked posts under the heading "in case you missed it"

Also, anyone interested in helping me with a chat project? I'm trying to build a non-centralized bot network that can do things like failing over without a central server, like MS. No real purpose, but it's fun.

@Magisch I’m not sure if someone pointed this out to you, but you can use k, f, n, and vin FIRE to send the appropriate feedback. You have to hit enter before the feedback/flag is submitted, and the keys are pretty far apart so it should be harder to misclick.

@ArtOfCode Do you think that it would be OK to have the bot post the question for a town hall, or do you think it would be better to "voice" (give write access) to the user and let them ask it themselves?

@quartata all of my Smokey instances are up with the latest changes, so until the rest are fully updated with the pip updates, feel free to rotate between those three - Supernova, Solar Flare, and Lunar Eclipse

@ArtOfCode well my plan was they'd submit the question via a form during the event. so everyone would see what questions were coming up and if it was abusive garbage we could just drop it before it got posted

that reminds me that SE's written in .NET compliant code... shivers (sorry, I have bad experiences trying to roll out .NET applications historically... it's why I prefer open source software solutions to .NET/IIS)

it really should be redone so that it spits JSON instead of raw log output, possibly to a specific websocket path rather than just /

I was thinking I should perhaps structure it into a set of microservices where PulseMonitor would be the "chat front end" and well yours then if it materialized would be a "web front end" (which is not actually something I had in mind; but it sounds nice)

so the websocket could be more granular, listen to /everything and you get roughly the current output, listen to /posts and you'd get just a ping when it receives a new post, that sort of thing?
